BIOS screen won't display
I installed a sapphire R9-285 ITX video card in my Dimension E520. The only problem I'm having is when I try to enter SETUP I get the message Video mode 130 not supported by this graphics card. so I need to know if it's possible to change the BIOS graphics mode on the E520. I have a support tag open with Sapphire to see if support for this resolution could be added to the GPU BIOS but I have no answer yet.

That $300 video card is for a high powered, much faster and much more recent computer. The E520 is an obsolete model now and cannot run that card. You should return the card and put that money towards a new computer. You can buy a new computer now that cost less than the video card.

The video card was $170. My E520 scores in 3Dmark 11 better than 52% of computers tested there. My E520 is running QX6800 @ 3.72GHz. The E520 runs the card just fine. The dual GPU BIOS allows it to run on older computers. The R9-380 is also $175 at Newegg but is EUFI only, so IT wouldn't run on the E520.
Some of the Optiplex business machines can access the BIOS from in windows due to their networked maintenance needs, I was wondering if my E520 BIOS could be accessed the same way.
I'm getting 93fps in Unigine Heaven.Doesn't seem obsolete to me.
